When did you start playing basketball? I was introduced to it by my brother, Matt. He’s five years older than me, so I was born into playing backyard hoops and shooting around, or at least wanting to and watching him play with his friends. In typical sibling fashion, I wasn’t invited. When [our family] moved to the US, the school I went to had a junior varsity and a varsity team. I played that first season in Colorado for the school team and fell in love with it.
